From morning til night, my house is stirring like crazy. Children laughing and playing, crying and fighting, telephones ringing, tv blaring, dishes pile higher and higher in the sink, the washing machine is constantly on (but the dirtly laundry never gets caught up) and I am running in circles trying to complete my never ending "to do" list.
The toilets need scrubbing, the baseboards need a good dusting, the windows need to be cleaned and the cobwebs...well, they might as well just stay there til after Halloween! What I wouldn't give to just take a 10 minute nap without a little kid pulling my eyelids open and asking if I am asleep...or to sit and read a book without a kid peeking over my shoulder and asking where the pictures are...or to just sit quietly with no sound except a sweet little bird chirping someplace outside my window. Oh it's a crazy, noise filled life around here.
So now my day is over...the dishes never got completely washed and put away, laundry needs to be folded, my "to do" list still has a million things left to do, and I am exhausted. Our house is messy, but at least we have a house to live in...there may be a pile of dirty dishes in my sink, but our bellies are full, the kids may laugh too loud and cry too often, but at least we have eachother.
It's past midnite and all is quiet now.
